And In Today's News...[Occasionally NSFW]

Someone I only know as a friend of a friend (and is potentially on here) has been in the news twice in recent weeks for unrelated, and weird stories.

First one (daily mail)

Quote

Royal Mail threatened to stop delivering to a couple over claims their miscreant cat was attacking postal workers through the letterbox.

A letter sent to Lee Haynes and Jo Woodley said their tabby's roaming paws were making visits to their house dangerous.

The pair say Ernie, a 'placid' three-year-old, was just playing - but Royal Mail asked for action to protect its workers.

Then the other day I see him in the news again (bbc).

Quote

A couple who had not received a gas bill for 18 years were left in shock when they were sent an invoice for nearly £11,000. 

Lee Haynes, 44, and Jo Woodley, 45, have not been billed since moving into their Tamworth house in 2005.

Multiple organisations, including the National Grid, had struggled to find their energy suppliers, they said.

Gas distributor Cadent said it had an obligation to recover the cost of any gas used outside of a contract.

After moving into their home, they say they immediately tried to sort out utility bills but hit a block when it came to the gas.

Random to see him appear twice like that. However, the comments on social media all seem to be taking the piss out of his hair do

In the (probably not too) distant future, when the AI-simulacrums have supplanted all human life, @Xela-replicant-0368 settles down for a quiet evening with his favourite cybercast...

@bickster regrets giving his other half the ok to make a bit of room in the living room cabinet

All joking aside, to any collector or music fan full stop, that must be a horrendous sight.

What the hell are sheds, if they aren't, er, sheds? 

It's a term used to describe older cars that are cheap and do the jobs you might not want a nice car to do (tip runs, leave in a train station car park overnight, etc)

Shame some of the attachments don't work on this thread from back in 2006...but a lot of memory-jogging names crop up.
